JOHN EDWARDS ADMITS TO HAVING AN AFFAIRAfter repeated denials that he was involved in an extramarital relationship, former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has confirmed that he indeed did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, though he denies that he loved her.
Speaking to ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff in an interview scheduled to air Friday on Nightline, Edwards cited the timing of Rielle's baby's Feb. 27, 2008 birth as proving he is not the father, because the affair with Hunter had ended, he said. He has not submitted to a paternity test.
Former campaign aide Andrew Young has claimed paternity of the child.
Friends of Hunter tell ABC that she and Edwards met in 2006 at a New York City bar, and she received $114,000 from his political action committee to produce Web site documentaries for the Edwards campaign, despite her lack of experience. People |
